Physical Therapy
Your First Visit
When you come to the Physical Therapy Center at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center for the first time, you'll be asked to complete paperwork and patient education. You'll be evaluated by our staff and will receive a limited course of treatment that usually includes the initial stages of a home exercise program. Most patients are in the office for one to two hours during their first visit. Subsequent visits will last about an hour, depending on the degree of care required. Your next visits will focus on your progression. Our goal is to help you return to optimal health as quickly as possible, and return to an active and productive lifestyle.
